[nv-l] seedfile/discovery

Hi all,
Time once again for a indepth yes or no answer
Q1: When I place devices int he seedfile preceeded with $ ($10.1.1.10) which is a router, when it does the config poll on the device and finds all the other interfaces on the device, does it try to do a gethostbyname for each interface it finds on that device? Or does it understand that by denoting the $ in front of the device, that any interfaces it finds it should automatically know that they are related to that device and not attempt to determine if those other interfaces have a dns entry. (reason: all devices and all interfaces are in the DNS so a single router could ahve multiple names depending on which interface it decides to find first, and the seedfile use to house all ip addresses from the DNS.)
Q2: Now once the inital discovery is done when it demanpolls the object for operational status (because it was noted with a $) will it always try only by the interface that was in the seedfile, or will it attempt to add all interfaces as objects in the database.
Thanks
Chris Petrina
